A GUIDE TO THE ROUTE


  In 2021 the Tour de France will  take riders right  across France twice, once from the northwest to the Alps, and then from the Alps to the southwest, taking in some inevitable days of gruelling mountain roads in the Alps and the Pyrenees.
   The route is less hilly than in recent years, and notably than the 2020 event that included multiple stages across hilly parts of southern France.
   With four full days in Brittany, the Tour will spend as much time in this region in 2021 as it has in the previous seven years combined - adding to the region's attraction as an easily accessible tourist area in the age of Covid travel restrictions.
   The route also takes in the area of the Châteaux of the Loire, passing through some of the Loire valley vineyards and beside the fabulous Renaissance castle at Chenonceaux. Riders will pass through other vineyard areas between the Côtes du Rhône and Languedoc vineyards, and with a penultimate day where time trials follow a route ending in the bijou vineyard town of Saint Emilion.
  No vineyards on the final day, of course, which will take riders from Chatou, in the western suburbs of Paris, to the end of the race, a sprint up the Champs Elysées in Paris.
